After AMAZING stays at three other properties in Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini, this was a huge let-down and unfortunate ending to our wonderful Greek Island trip of a lifetime. The reception staff was abrupt and unfriendly while checking us in, and could not find our reservation right away despite me producing a voucher from the travel agent (which none of... More

We stayed in Blue Palace for 10 days in June and thoroughly loved the experience from start to finish. Upon arrival we were met and welcomed warmly, given refreshments while we checked in, and then shown around the hotel and to our room while our luggage was delivered and our car parked up for us. Our room itself was amazing,... More

The Resort: This is an excellent resort, lovely contemporary architecture and beautifully maintained, all very fresh. This is a big hotel complex spread out on the side of an east facing hill sloping down to the resorts private beach. Although the resort is big (circa 250 rooms?), it is spear out, so it didn’t feel crowded at all. As far... More

Amazing Hotel, Friendly helpful staff and lovely spacious rooms and the views are jaw dropping. The bathrooms are top notch! When we first got here, we were given the tour of the hotel. The spa is lovely but expensive and the gym is pretty modern too! The Vernicular lift is a bit annoying as other people have mentioned but you... More

If you have not been to Crete, the first thing you want to know if how big the island is. It's probably best to divide your stay into regions and use the Blue Palace as one great place to stay. We got a room with a pool which we loved. What a luxury! The beach is great but early morning... More

I can’t find enough superlatives to describe this resort. Simply put, this place embodies what a 5-star property should be. The combination of service, location & amenities gelled into a most pleasant experience for us. We have been to a few 5-star hotels & this clearly ranks among the top. POSITIVES: Staff/Service: Appear to be genuinely friendly yet professional -... More

A true get away. Full luxury resort, all around. Gorgeous architecture in public areas, stunning views, luxurious private abodes with private infinity plunge pools and patios mean you don't need to leave your room. Add to the mystery and history of a fantastic island a perfect, plush, and idyllic resort setting to return to after a day of adventure -... More

This place is too amazing to put into words or photos, you really have to visit. The place is pretty much a city on its own. There is not really any reason to leave, with amazing restaurants and great swimming on the property. Unfortunately the location is kind of far from a lot of the best parts of the island.... More

We've stayed at the Blue Palace before and we were eager to return to this delightful resort tucked into the steep hills of Elunda. We always ask the hotel to arrange for a taxi to pick us up at the airport since we have no need to drive once we arrive at the hotel. We were greeted by staff as... More

Amazing !!! Where do I start , This was the most relaxing blissfully sublime holiday experience..The hotel itself is situated on the most stunning bay with mountains rising to the side and behind photographs will not do it justice..The staff,rooms,restaurants,beach,etc etc were without fault..We rented a car to explore Crete but were so taken with the hotel we were loath...
